Like Dune? Like Dune.
Nah the original was great. Idk but old shitty VFX do something for me.
In my eyes, SFX still stands the test of time. Sure you can see CGI is shit, but models and custom made suits just scream style and dystopian nightmare. I love it and still watch it from time to time. Didn't watch the new one as it ads nothing to the story, at least from what I heard.
Indeed the new one, in attempting to the faithful to the book, but minus any of the critical inner monologue, just manages to be bland on a big budget.
I love the campy 84 version, even if it departed wildly from the text. The characters were colourful, over the top, memorable. Current version everyone's a slightly different dark haired man in a dusty suit. Give me some dated CGI and theatrics any day.
Same. I still happily rewatch Sci-Fi movies from 80s and 90s. Those were the days. Today CGI has advanced much but it seems directing and world building have taken a back seat.
Ha ha I remember when fans would slit your throat for saying "Sci-Fi" instead of "SF".
The visuals were great, and the film has a hypnotic fever dream feel to it. Not sure it can be called a"good" film, but it's extremy entertaining.
The new film has more gravitas and is much more loyal to the book, but it also doesn't add anything to the book and is just less interesting to watch (for me it was down right boring). I think it over-corrected the Lynch version.
Every Lynch movie feels like a fever dream, favorite director of all time for me
I liked the Lynch version.
Captain Picard and Sting!
David Lynch didn't even like the Lynch version
Or Dredd.
Watching clips of that movie today. So good!
